[EBB Sightings] Hayward Shoreline shorebirds

Brian, beautiful pics. in re: lesser yellowlegs. Bill
length vs head length and no upward curve to the bill
both look good.  Grayness of breast vs. crisply
streaked, particularly in the 2nd photo looks good. 
Primary extension beyond the tail looks good.
I think you have a winner.
Best regards,
Bob
